Republicans voting against them. These are ammendments probably 90% of voters agree with.
I also suspect they played out the chess game in their heads and thought they weren't going to do better with the budget in the end.

I'm not saying I agree about the budget, but what do I know? I just don't think this is a matter of no fire in their belly but differences of opinion in strategy. i had heard that they have been working hard on everything that goes through Congress to make Republicans vote against ammendments that will be damning in an election.

This is how Lincoln won the presidency: he made Douglas say things in a Senate campaign (which Douglas won) that hurt him in the national election.

The problem here is, do we have an electorate who will pay enough attention, will fake media drown the real issues out, and will there actually be another election in 2 years? These are uncharted territories, and who knows what will turn things around.

So far they are losing in court, fired employees are returning, Elon is becoming the most hated man in the world, the stock market is tanking, and it may all come down to Amy Conan Barrett, John Roberts, and the military.

Just as Elon tries to convince us SS isn't worth saving, we have to convince our soldiers that Canada, DOGE, and Trump's illegal orders aren't worth fighting for.
